#107201 - 1978 PONTIAC FIREBIRD BODY (200mm)

One of the original muscle cars, the Pontiac Firebird had a long
and storied history, with its popularity peaking in the late 70's
after the release of a certain Hollywood movie featuring the
original of this car, the hugely successful black ‘Bandit'
version with gold detail, flared air dams and that famous
‘shaker' hood!

Originally released as a 1967 model and sharing the Chevrolet
Camaro chassis, the Pontiac Firebird used various engines from
different General Motors divisions to keep its reputation as one of
the original ‘pony cars'. In the 1978 model year, you could
choose a base V6 or one of 5 different V8 engines making up to 200
horsepower. To help celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pontiac, the
Special Edition was offered to the public in 1976, using black
paint with gold accents, add-on lower body panels and more. The
popularity of the gold-on-black Special Edition was immeasurably
boosted by its starring role in the smash hit movie ‘Smokey
and the Bandit', and the car would forever be known unofficially as
the ‘Bandit' edition! Our replica of this iconic Hollywood
motoring legend takes all the familiar shapes and lines and shrinks
them down to 1/10th scale to fit on your RC touring car chassis! A
huge vinyl pre-cut decal sheet comes with all of the good stuff:
official Pontiac & Special Edition logos and even the gold firebird
and pin-striping that made the ‘Bandit' edition one of the
most highly coveted cars of the 70's! Like all HPI bodies, the '78
Firebird comes with a clear protective overspray film, window masks
and a large pre-cut decal sheet. The body also has drill locations
marked for HPI touring car chassis, making it easy to line up the
body mount and antenna holes.

Premium vinyl decals include window frames, headlights, grill,
tail lights, official logos and more - for a perfect finish with a
lot of details

High quality, crystal clear polycarbonate with excellent
dimensional stability and impact resistance, for extra strength and
